[0002] Optical fiber is a fiber made of glass or plastic that can be used as a light transmission tool. During the manufacturing process of optical fiber, it is usually wound around a reel to store and facilitate transportation. However, during the winding process, the optical fiber may become loose or jumper due to stress stretching. The conventional approach is to stop the machine first, use a tension wheel to straighten and tighten the fiber that is currently being wound, and then restart the winding machine to continue winding the optical fiber.
[0003] However, during the tension adjustment process, when the optical fiber becomes loose or jumps in, it is easy for the optical fiber to separate from the tension wheel. This means that when adjusting the tension using the tension wheel, the optical fiber must be manually secured to the tension wheel before the tension adjustment can continue, which is quite inconvenient.

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0021] Please refer to the following: Figures 1-4 ,in, Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a preferred embodiment of the fully automatic fiber optic winding tension balancing wheel assembly provided by this utility model; Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the connection structure between the inlet wheel and the outlet wheel in this utility model; Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the assembly of the tension wheel and the anti-detachment wheel in this utility model; Figure 4 This is a cross-sectional view of the first concave frame in this utility model. The fully automatic fiber optic winding tension balancing wheel assembly includes: a mounting panel 1, on which an inlet wheel 2 and an outlet wheel 3 are rotatably mounted; a bearing protrusion 4 is fixedly mounted on the mounting panel 1; two guide posts 5 are fixedly mounted on the bottom of the bearing protrusion 4; a common lifting platform 6 is slidably mounted on the two guide posts 5; a first concave frame 7 is fixedly mounted on both sides of the lifting platform 6; tension wheels 9 are rotatably mounted inside the two first concave frames 7; the two tension wheels 9 are located between the inlet wheel 2 and the outlet wheel 3; the optical fiber passes through the inlet wheel 2, the tension wheel 9, and the outlet wheel 3 in sequence, smoothly forming a transmission path; and to prevent the optical fiber from separating from the tension wheel 9, an anti-detachment wheel 14 is provided below each of the two tension wheels 9; the two anti-detachment wheels 14 are tangent to the two tension wheels 9 respectively, which can restrict the optical fiber between them, forming an anti-detachment effect.
[0022] In the above method, in order to adjust the tension of the optical fiber using the tension wheel 9, a return spring 8 is fixedly installed on the top of each of the two first concave frames 7. The top of each of the two return springs 8 is fixedly connected to the bearing protrusion 4. Furthermore, a connecting column 15 is fixedly installed on the top of the lifting platform 6. The top of the connecting column 15 passes through the bearing protrusion 4 and is movably connected to the bearing protrusion 4. A right-angled trapezoidal block 16 is fixedly installed on the top of the bearing protrusion 4. A vertical plate 17 is fixedly installed on the bearing protrusion 4, and a horizontal screw 18 is threaded onto it. A right-angled trapezoidal tamping rod is rotatably installed at the end of the horizontal screw 18 near the right-angled trapezoidal block 16. Plate 19, the right-angled trapezoidal tamping plate 19 is in contact with the right-angled trapezoidal block 16. By rotating the transverse screw 18 and utilizing the sliding adaptation principle between the right-angled trapezoidal tamping plate 19 and the right-angled trapezoidal block 16, the lifting platform 6 can be raised and lowered, thereby adjusting the tension of the optical fiber. In order to ensure that the right-angled trapezoidal tamping plate 19 can move horizontally in a straight line, a limiting bending rod is fixedly installed at the bottom of the right-angled trapezoidal tamping plate 19. The limiting bending rod passes through the vertical plate 17 and is slidably connected to the vertical plate 17. A set screw is threaded on the vertical plate 17, and the end of the set screw abuts against the limiting bending rod to prevent the transverse screw 18 from rotating.
[0023] In this method, to facilitate the insertion of the optical fiber under the tension wheel 9, mounting slots 10 are provided on the opposite sides of the two first concave frames 7. Electric push rods 11 are fixedly installed in each of the two mounting slots 10. Connecting folding strips 12 are fixedly installed on the output shafts of the two electric push rods 11. Second concave frames 13 are fixedly installed at the bottom of each of the two connecting folding strips 12. Two anti-detachment wheels 14 are located within the two second concave frames 13, and are rotatably connected to the inner walls of the two second concave frames 13. Initially, the output shafts of the electric push rods 11 are extended. When inserting the optical fiber, the output shafts of the electric push rods 11 are retracted, separating the tension wheel 9 from the anti-detachment wheels 14, thus allowing for smooth insertion of the optical fiber. Furthermore, each of the two connecting folding strips 12 has a threading port, allowing the optical fiber to pass through without hindering the winding of the optical fiber.
[0024] In this method, in order to prevent the bearing protrusion 4 from affecting the right-angled trapezoidal block 16, a shuttle opening is provided on the bearing protrusion 4, the connecting post 15 passes through the shuttle opening, and the diameter of the shuttle opening is larger than the outer dimensions of the right-angled trapezoidal block 16.
[0025] The working principle of the fully automatic fiber optic winding tension balance wheel assembly provided by this utility model is as follows:
[0026] When in use, install the mounting panel 1 at the designated position on the fiber optic winding machine. Then, start the electric push rod 11 to retract the output shaft, causing the two connecting folds 12 to descend with the corresponding second concave frame 13, thereby separating the tension wheel 9 from the anti-detachment wheel 14. Then, insert the fiber optic cable sequentially above the inlet wheel 2, below the two tension wheels 9, and above the outlet wheel 3. Then, start the electric push rod 11 to extend the output shaft, making the anti-detachment wheel 14 tangent to the tension wheel 9 again.
[0027] Then the fiber optic transmission winding process begins, with the specific fiber optic transmission status as follows: Figure 1 As shown, during the winding process, when the optical fiber becomes loose, it is limited by the anti-detachment wheel 14. The loose optical fiber remains between the tension wheel 9 and the anti-detachment wheel 14 and will not separate from the tension wheel 9. Then, the set screw is rotated counterclockwise to separate it from the limiting lever. Then, the transverse screw 18 is rotated clockwise. Through the contact principle between the right-angled trapezoidal plate 19 and the right-angled trapezoidal block 16, the right-angled trapezoidal block 16 lowers the lifting platform 6, and then lowers the two first concave frames 7. At this time, the reset spring 8 is gradually stretched by the tension force. During the descent, the tension wheel 9 will press down on the optical fiber to adjust its tension until the optical fiber returns to a taut tension state. Then, the rotation of the transverse screw 18 is stopped. Then, the set screw is rotated clockwise to make it tightly contact the limiting lever. Then, the optical fiber transmission winding work continues.
[0028] Compared with related technologies, the fully automatic fiber optic winding tension balancing wheel assembly provided by this utility model has the following advantages:
[0029] This utility model provides a fully automatic fiber optic winding tension balancing wheel assembly. By setting an anti-detachment wheel 14 tangent to the tension wheel 9, the fiber optic cable can be restricted between the two. Even if the fiber optic cable is in a loose state due to insufficient tension, it can prevent the fiber optic cable from detaching from the tension wheel 9. Then, the fiber optic cable tension can be adjusted by rotating the transverse screw 18, which brings great convenience to the operation.

Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
